A Real Cool Time in Hoboken

Well, I'm about halfway moved into the new digs, so I'm finally able to post something. I mentioned my fondness for the soundtracks to Married to the Mob and Something Wild when I posted them about two years ago. I hadn't seen either film, however, in a long time so I had to watch Something Wild again this summer when it was on HBO. The film still holds up well, imho, and I had forgotten how great the Feelies are in the film as the band at the high school reunion (check it out if it's been a while). In addition to delving back into the Feelies, I also spent a lot of time listening to other Hoboken bands from the 1980s and 1990s. And since I didn't post anything last week, it's a two disc compilation of said Hoboken bands. (And I do know that Ben Vaughn was from Philly, but I know he frequently played Maxwell's - the hub of the Hoboken scene.)

About the blog

I'm a 40something guy who did a college radio show during grad school. I missed doing it, so a mixtape music blog seemed like the best alternative. While I may post the occasional album, I'll primarily posts mixtapes - overviews of an artist/bands career, odds and sods collections, 2-3 artists, or more "traditional" mixtapes featuring all different artists.
If you own the rights to any of the music and want it to be removed, please e-mail me at rightsideofagoodthing@gmail.com and I will take it down.
